Background

About Julia P.

Presently, Julia Pezzano is working for Alashan Cashmere. Julia completed an internship with Project Runway season 15 winner, Erin Robertson, from October 2018 to December 2019. Julia attended an all-day fashion lecture hosted at the Museum of Fine Arts where Erin was one of the guest speakers. After the presentation, Julia introduced herself to Erin as a fashion admirer, not knowing she would end up becoming her mentor and friend. This gave her insight into the high-end fashion market. During the time of this internship, she was introduced to many incredible female artists including Nicole Fichera, the founder of Hourglass Boston. Hourglass opened for a two month pop up in the Fenway area where Julia assisted with social media engagement, updating the an_erin website, and other marketing tasks. Grateful to be apart of the store's team, Hourglass won the best pop up shop awarded by Boston Magazine. She worked at Kate Spade New York as a sales associate for nine months. She was the only seasonal worker promoted to a permanent employee. She was honored to be apart of a company that promotes bold women and self expression. After working part time at Threadz Consignment Shop for a couple of weeks, she was promoted to Store Manager. She worked part time at Kate Spade until deciding to split her time between Threadz and her passion of antique dealing. Threadz Consignment won Best Consignment shop of Eastern Connecticut for 2021! She handled social media content, visual merchandising and product placement, connections to consignors/customers, creating relationships with local vendors as well as promoting the store on WINY radio. She grew social media platforms as “the face of Threadz” specifically known for her live streams where she would display new items for customers virtually. She managed Threadz for over a year before accepting a position at Alashan Cashmere in their customer service department. Since then, she has traveled to trade shows, assisted on photoshoots, and attending marketing meetings to further grow the company.
